As many have said, LLM is mostly useless unless you want to teach. So can anyone share other domestic or international qualifications, courses etc that actually hold value for law professionals
Not India, but a beautiful and (relatively) cheaper option abroad is the EMLE. Its partially funded by the EU, there are 10-12 scholarships every year, you get to study in the two to three different countries, and its incredibly rigorous compared to your average LLMs where its all slides and 8 exams at the end of the year!
From a hiring perspective, no. No T1 law firms give any value to Indian LLMs and there is a negligible framework for hiring coordination in most of the top 5 NLUs (which suggests that that's the scene everywhere in India). For T2-T3 law firms, it's mostly a question of securing internships and performing there, but most top law firms would be wary of having interns who have cleared the bar exam.
And specifically in competition law, I can confirm that no half-decent practice is likely to have openings for an Indian LLM student on merit. If you have contacts, well....then you don't really need an LLM anyway.
Well, if you want to teach take any generic LLM. But if you want to practice try something like DAKSHA fellowship. DAKSHA is not exactly a good one, but as of now if you want to study something in TMT, Daksha is the only option in India IMO.
